Officers will be increasing patrols and advising the public about the law surrounding the use of these bikes.

Sergeant Mandy Shaw said: "Traditionally, during the summer school holidays, there is an increase in anti-social behaviour involving youths using mini-moto vehicles.

To target this problem, officers from Cheshire Police and community safety wardens from councils will be engaged in an operation to proactively patrol problem areas and address this issue.

They will be supported by officers from the Roads Policing Unit who are trained in the use of off-road motorcycles. They will patrol the identified areas, responding to relevant incidents when deployed."
